Well, maybe our bathroom (in gardenview 4305) wasn't fully remodeled yet , but since our last visit in 01/2006, only the sink seemed new (we were in 4302 last time). Almost everything else (tub, shower faucet/handle, counter, hairdryer, even the wastebasket I think) seemed the same.

The problem w/ this nice looking new sink is that it was so shallow that water splashed everywhere.

Oh, one thing that was new (to us, at least) was that there was a regular plug in the bathroom. In '06 I had to dry my hair out in the bedroom (w/ my own hairdryer, that is).

One other thing - that ledge above the sink was wooden in 2006, now it seems that they've put a counter-type cover over it.

Of course, I'm sure all the rooms are not exactly the same anyway, so for all I know 4302 is still the same as it was for us in 2006 !!

The bathroom renovations have either been very minor (like only the sink) or we have not been in one of the renovated rooms the past two years. Does anyone know what the bathroom updates were supposed to include? It seems like we are all guessing. It would be a shame for a bathroom renovation be so subtle that we are wondering if it has been done yet.
Thanks!

Two observations:
1) image name is "CSA Bathroom 1.jpg", but this is really for CN, right?
2) The window slats on the left are presumably the same that currently look out onto the front entryway. But the door in the picture, presumably leading to the room, is opposite those windows (currently it is always either left or right of the windows). Does that mean they are moving the door location as well? If so, better train my get-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night self where the new door is pretty quickly!

while the new design looks good and cleaning would be easier many ladies we talked to would miss the ability shave legs in the tub. Talked to Ricardo last Dec and he agreed could be room for discussion. While looks like there is a seat does not look close enough to shower head. Just a womans opinion,

Like the concept, but hey, I liked the old bathrooms as well. The only thing I will say is I am not a fan of the shallow sinks and was the only thing I did not care for in the suites at CN. But that made no difference in the wonderful time I had and caused me no pain or suffering, just a personal preference. Is good Mon!

We saw the progress/construction this week (in blocks 1 and 2 currently). Would guess an October open to be quite a stretch. Perhaps Nov., but in our experience, would bet on Dec. or even Jan. for this type of thing. The blocks are boarded up w/ plywood (to minimize the construction/jack-hammering noise? or keep debris out?), but one can get a peek in here or there from glass balcony doors and when doors are open on 2nd story and can see them working.

Sinks/toilets were ripped out (temporarily, we'd guess as they were sitting inside the main part of some rooms). Bathrooms stripped bare to concrete (floor, counter and most of the walls) and at least some of the rooms had cement/mortar poured/shaped to form the new walls of the walk in shower. Saw a triangular shaped shower bench (as opposed to square one in that rendering).

Interestingly the newer tile that was done on the wall across from bathroom door a few years ago, still had that same tile. There were boxes of Italian glass mosaic tile laying around, though we didn't see any installed yet. Assuming it matches the existing tile.

Answering my own question from above, would say that artist's rendering is just that; a rendering, or artistic interpretation. The orientation of the door and window slats will stay the same as they are currently and not as shown in the rendering.

Looked like newer AC was in the main part of the room (and old unit laying on the ground).

Thanks for the update, Rudi! We're heading to CN next June... wonder what their progress will be at that time? Are buildings 1 and 2 where they started? Would love to get a renovated suite next June, but would also love to be in block 5, which hasn't been renovated yet, has it?
